Amon Amarth are set to launch extra wonderful tracks of tales of Viking mythology within the type of their new crushing album Jomsviking. For the reason that launch of their debut album As soon as Despatched From The Golden Corridor in 1998, Amon Amarth have ravaged all components of the world with their thunderous drums, unrelenting melodies and guitar riffs so soothe any metalheads ears…

Amon Amarth have returned with considered one of their most crushing albums thus far. Put together for the album Jomsviking an idea impressed by the elite Viking mercenaries of its title, conceived and written by Johan Hegg and dropped at life by the band.

Hegg said. “Even earlier than we modified drummers we had the thought to make an idea album. It was one thing we might by no means executed earlier than and it gave us a problem. I began writing the story, went into it wholeheartedly and when you begin taking place that path there’s actually no turning again.”

Amon Amarth’s tenth album brings you as shut as you’ll come to the sensation of the Vikings musically then every other album… Whereas listening to this albums there are occasions you possibly can image youself within the midst of the bloody battles..

Explaining among the idea Hegg suad: “It is a fairly easy story the place a younger man is in love with a woman however sadly she’s being married off. He by accident kills a person when this occurs and he has to flee,”. “However he swears to have revenge and win her again. He cannot let go of the previous. He feels that he is been wronged and his life has been destroyed. The story of the Jomsviking is the background – it is the way in which he finds to return and declare his revenge. The way in which the story evolves just isn’t a contented story… it is a tragedy, I assume! However I like unhappy endings, as a result of they’re those that have an effect on you essentially the most.”

Jomsviking sounds enormous and dramatic thanks, to producer Andy Sneap and this sound confirms Amon Amarth are greater, bolder and higher than ever earlier than in 2016.

Mikkonen said; “Whenever you write an album like this one, you are principally making music for a film,” “It’s important to comply with sure moods and we had to determine the place we wanted the aggressive songs or the extra mellow or unhappy moments, after which we needed to discover the fitting concepts for that. It was tough and it was difficult, nevertheless it was extra enjoyable! Earlier than we had been writing typical Amon Amarth songs, however this time we felt like we needed to write one thing completely different. After ten albums you actually need a problem. We rose to the problem and we’re actually pleased with what we have created.”

Doro Pesch performs a duet with Johan Hegg on the monitor “A Dream That Can not Be”, Jomsviking consists of tales of heroism, wrestle, love, dying and glory. 2016 would be the 12 months that Amon Amarth will battle to the dying and be left standing by way of the carnage housting the heavy steel flag…

Mikkonen additionally said: “We simply need to be extra,”. “Greater reveals, extra manufacturing, every thing greater and higher. I am fairly positive it is gonna be that manner too. There’s an excellent vibe within the band and I feel it is gonna be one hell of a 12 months.”

Hegg concludes: “The reveals are all the time completely improbable,” .”Whenever you’re onstage, performing, whether or not it is a pageant or a membership, and you’ve got that reference to individuals and you are feeling that response to all of the arduous work you have put in, that is when you understand that each one the hardships you have skilled through the years had been price it. We’re nonetheless rising. We grew with every album and we had been by no means a development. We have by no means adopted developments and no development has ever adopted us. We’re on our personal. We do what we love. There are such a lot of reveals deliberate in 2016 that it is nearly insane, however that is what we reside for.”
